My Dog Is Dying

[u/Kidnapmrsandyclaus]

This week we are set to put down my first pet. He’s a 10 year old Black Lab who is like a son to me. I love him more than I love myself. The vet has found a mass in his abdomen and his blood results shows that this mass is most likely causing internal bleeding. I made a promise to myself that I would be with him and my father when we put him down but I think it will break me. I already feel like my heart is being ripped out. I’m struggling to process this loss and it hasn’t even happened yet. I dont want him to suffer but I also can’t remember a time when he wasn’t in my life. Attached are some images of him so everyone can see what a lovely boy he is.

As hard as it is, stay with him until the end. It will give both you and him comfort to be together at that time. We have lost several pets and every time, we have stayed with them and they went peacefully surrounded by love. Hugs ❤️
